Fake Confidence ’til You Make Confidence (with Dr Emily)

Mirror, mirror on the wall, who is the most confident of all?

Ah, self-confidence. What a slippery, hard-to-find, hard-to-balance, hard-to-practice quality that we all want to get better at.

LUCKILY, Dr Emily, our resident psychologist, is here to answer ALL (as many as we could get to) of your questions about self-confidence.

We go into;

• confidence the action comes before confidence the feeling

• mindful self-compassion is a crucial element to building confidence

• top down vs bottom up approaches of growing confidence (knowing is not enough)

• thinking about how you would feel if you didn’t take the risk?

• should you lie to your kids about their sporting ability?
